tell which form i'm clicking

[jitteman]

The following script dynamically creates a select box and names it. I want to dynamically add an onfocus event handler that changes the value of the boxname variable to the value of the name of the form.
When I click the first form boxname=0, when I click the second boxname=1 ,etc.,etc.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

<SCRIPT language="Javascript">
var boxname=0;
function createlist(){
newlist= document.createElement("SELECT");
newlist.name=boxname;
document.selectform.appendChild(newlist);
boxname++;
}
</SCRIPT>

Try:

newlist.onfocus = function() { boxname = this.form.name; };

Hope this helps,

That didn't work; any other ideas?

Do you want to put the form's name in the variable, or do you really want to put the select element's name in the variable?

If the latter (even though you asked for the former), then the code I gave would need to be changed (e.g, "this.name").
